Are YOU talking to ME? - Day 1

blog_78129.jpg

Everything about today felt incredible.  I feel like I'm already transforming and my body just has to catch up.  I woke up this morning and a picture popped into my head of a transformed me standing in front of the beautiful Calatrava art museum in town here.  It created a feeling today that I intend to hold onto throughout this challenge.

In one of the nearly 50 podcasts I've listened to over the past 2 weeks, Chris Winters and Bill talk about how the power is in holding onto this feeling and vision in the here and now, not the past and not the future.

After working out today, a woman came into the dressing room and said "I admire your dedication hauling all of that stuff around and coming here so early"...I got to the gym at 5am.  I actually wasn't sure who she was talking to although we were the only two people in the locker room.  I turned around and asked her "are you talking to me?".  She laughed out loud and repeated what she said.  I thanked her and reflected on how her single comment at that point in time really meant a lot to me.

I was so busy enjoying our chat that I almost forgot to weight myself...which was one of my three goals:  to weigh myself only on the first and last day of the challenge.  I found it ironic and laughed at the fact that I almost failed at reaching one of my goals on this very first day.

My day ended with picking up my car which was a blessing beyond all blessings since my husband and I coordinate getting 6 kids to 3 different schools and working full-time.  Not only did it cost merely a fraction of what I thought it would (front tire fell off!), but we were able to pick it up before this crazy snow storm that is expected to hit us tonight.

I end this day with such a grateful heart and uplifted spirit.
